The integration of a computer-based system dealing with clinical guidelines with a medical ontology can provide several advantages, including standardization and knowledge sharing. Furthermore, in order to operate in the clinical practice, guideline systems must also interact with the hospital databases to retrieve patients' data. Unfortunately, currently there seems not to be any "standard" consensus model either for the medical ontology or for (the conceptual structure of) patient databases (even if several interesting proposals have been carried out). In this paper we show how we are extending the GLARE guideline manager in order to strictly interact with both a medical ontology and a patient Database, in such a way that GLARE is not committed to any specific ontology and database (i.e., different ontologies and/or databases can be used).
将处理临床指南的计算机系统与医学本体集成可以带来诸多优势，包括标准化和知识共享。此外，为了在临床实践中运行，指南系统还必须与医院数据库交互以检索患者数据。遗憾的是，目前对于医学本体或患者数据库（即使已经有了一些有趣的提议）似乎都没有任何“标准”的共识模型。在本文中，我们展示了如何扩展GLARE指南管理器，以便与医学本体和患者数据库进行严格交互，使得GLARE不依赖于任何特定的本体和数据库（即可以使用不同的本体和/或数据库）。
